Yes. We've finially managed to get all of this into ClearCase. It allowed
me to put together all of the changes that have been made to get this to
work on HP-UX.

Good.

Good. I hope this will be optional for those systems that already have
this - NetBSD has this as part of libc.

No problem.
I hope building the libraries is improved. I'd really like to have
a shared libkrb5... Doing this with the current scheme is difficult
at best. I want the libkrb5.a too.

Send it to me - I'll be glad to. It might even be good to let us have it
before general availability do that this can be checked.
BTW-
Any thoughts on the POP mail support ? The version that is there, doesn't
work and is based on a buggy verison from Berkeley.
